ZTE’s clearly trying to out-do some of the competition here on the spec sheet. Quick charging, USB-C, and fingerprint sensors are virtually unheard of at this price point.

Design-wise, the device comes in a rather attractive navy blue, soft-touch back, and a gunmetal frame (it’s not clear if its metal or nice-feeling plastic). My favorite touch is the subtle rose gold accents around the camera lens and side buttons. It’s a classy looking device

The device comes hot on the heels of the $400 Axon 7, once again trying to provide more than competitors can offer at a low price point.

The device is launching on MetroPCS on August for $99 “after instant rebate.” We’ll be going hands on any minute now, so stay tuned for more.Check out our hands-on here.
